Books are Gems

I had to add a review because wow I was super impressed with this place and I hope this helps it with people visiting here. This place book for gems is located behind the gecu bank so you guys are aware had abit of trouble finding it but it was totally worth it. This place us very intresting I am not a big reader but even I found a book I too home. Kids get to get 7 book 1 new and 6 used for free I believe and they even get freebies some times for the online book reading they have. Grown up books are 50 cents paper backs and 1 dollar hard backs. It is really cool to go and see all the books they have they might not be the newest but you can find alot of neat books there. They were really nice at the front desk. They even have books and stuff that teachers can go get. It was a great experience definitely recommend it specially if you have kids or like reading, and if you don't like reading you might still be able to find something there that you might like. Can't recommend it enough give it a try you won't regret it.

Great place to get books. They are free.

It is a wonderful place to get books for children, youth and adults. The employees are extremely kind, respectful, helpful. Children get 7 slightly used books and one free book. Books have fair prices. You need to go shopping there for any books. Also you may also donate books.

This shop really is a Gem. A bit hard to find, located in what looks like an otherwise vacant office building, this bookshop is really geared toward the next generation of readers: it's all about the children here. But I don't have children (yet) and I seek a well stacked bookshop with topics that interest me.

Well: this shop delivers! Though not well lit, the section for adult readers is quite extensive, and features a great variety of topics and selections. The clerk, pleasant if reserved, was quite courteous, and that made the purchase even sweeter. It'll be worth returning here from time to time.

Books are Gems is one of the best places in El Paso for kids. All kids receive one brand new book and 5 used books. Plus they have story time online. My kids love it and its a great way to keep kids reading and recycle books!
